Default Plastic Under carriage. Ohhh man!!

Hey Guys... Big boo boo the other day. I drove my car over a curb, and the plastic under carriage above my right front wheel completely ripped off. So basically you can now change the headlights and low beems, without doing anything, I can stick my whole arm over there! Yikes.. Any idea how much this will cost to replace, or any ideas what i should do??

Im taking any and all advise on this one guys...

i've done this on my old car. the splash guard was around $25. you'll probably have to buy all the clips as well so i would say around $50-$60 total. hopefully not more just because its a lexus.

Yeah, buying parts for Lexus cars SUCK! So freaking expensive. $100 is actually pretty cheap. I was charged like $400 for a bumper reinforcement bar...I mean it's just a flat steel bar!

I have a similar issue but with the engine shroud; the big piece of plastic that goes underneath the engine and must be removed to do an oil change on the gs3. How much would that piece be??? Any ideas?

How about trying online? There was a guy a few months back that crashed his car and didnt have insurance. Maybe you should see if he has one for you, obviously a functional one.
